“Getting to know an artist” was the 5.2
official activity of our project “Artemotion Xpress in Europe”. Two school
classes worked on this activity with their teachers. The aim was to get to know
an artist and his/her work and then meet in real life! The excitement of the
pupils was huge!

At first, teachers and pupils decided to work
on a local artist, painter and writer, Ms Olga Chanouza. They searched the
internet to find information about her biography and paintings. They prepared a
short P.P. presentation on her artistic work. They analyzed her paintings and
worked on Language lesson on a poem called “You are my strength” and even made
paintings according to the meaning of the poem.

In a predetermined time, Ms Chanouza visited
our school. Pupils presented their preliminary work and all together analyzed
her paintings and poem. Later, Ms Chanouza presented to all some of her new
paintings and children expressed what they saw and how they felt.

Lastly, all together we painted as our minds
and hearts were full of colors, imagination, enthusiasm and a great desire to
paint along with the artist.

With great enthusiasm and passion the main
coordinator Ms Mourelatou Stamoula OT, 1st Special Education Primary School of
Korydallos, created a poster for the European program «Artemotion Xpress in
Europe», in order to enrich the school’s info point about the program and make
sure that our teamwork and effort will be noticed.

“Painting music” was the 5.1 official activity
of our project “Artemotion Xpress in Europe”. Two classes of our school worked
on this activity with their teachers. Pupils had to sit around a large piece of
paper and while listening to happy and sad classic music they had to paint what
the music made them feel! It was a beautiful activity and children loved it! It
is essential to point out that different music hearings influenced pupil’s
feelings and they expressed different moods which were represented by different
choices of colors and different choices of paintings. For example for the happy
music they chose vivid and bright colors with abstract, curvy lines or happy
faces whereas for the sad music they chose dark and moody colors with sad
faces, rain, clouds etc.

German and Spanish pupils have conected on 18. th March in the morning via Skype. They have enjoyed a lot introducing themselves to the others. More skype connections soon, looking forward to see you again!!!

In the activity our students experimented the relationships between lines, colors and mood by painting, while they were listening to music.

The students listenes to samples of music and chose colours to create paintings based on the mood inspirated by the music samples.

They also learnes about several pieces of classical and celtic music. The students participated in the discussions, they reflected on what they painted, why they chose the particular lines or colors, how their picture correlated with the music. The students enjoyed very much this activity. I hope you like it too.

As in the previous years, again we were pleased to attend
the festival Forma viva in Pragersko. In a two-day sculpture-carving workshop, pupils from surrounding schools work with the wood. Our school was represented
by three students of the specific program of education: Andrej Gjörek, Gjörek
Janko and Rajko Bučar with their
mentor Jasna Veber Zazula, art teacher.

The pupils are
passionate musicians, so they decided that the wood will symbolically rendered
image of the string. The first day they
were steadily carved in the wood,
the second day, shaped wooden relief were upgraded with modernist selected pieces
of scrap metal and wire. They have produced two terrain with which they delight
all those participants.
Both creative days, they gave them a lot of rich experience in the field of design in wood processing. Students upgraded its ability to operate with machinery and
handheld, carving tools, and established contacts with students from surrounding
schools. Reliefs were presented in the group exhibition at the cultural center

The 4th official activity of the project
"ArtEmotion Xpress in Europe" was «Face puzzle". Initially,
students from all the partner schools had to photograph the faces of their
peers while making various facial expressions representing emotions like joy,
sadness, anger, fear, surprise.

In Special education primary school of Korydallos, we printed the photos in A3
paper and plasticized them. Students with the help of their teachers cut the
photos to 3 to 20 pieces depending on the degree of difficulty they wanted to
have the puzzles for each student and always in accordance with their
functional capabilities.

The activity was completed in each class separately and you can watch from the
video below the procedure, impressions and feelings arousing during its
implementation.
